EnioV Life.


What a truly beautiful world VIZ
live in !! Nature gives us grandeur OF
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment
We can desire no better when in per.
feet health; but how often do the
majority of people feel like giving il
up dishcartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfacto-
ry proof that GREENS AUGUST Flow
Err will make them free from disease,
as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes OF
seventy-five per cent. of such mala-
dies as Billiousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nerv-
Gus Prostitution, Dizziness of the
Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and
other distressing symptoms. Three
doses of AUGUST FLOWER will prove
its wonderful effect. Sample bot
ties, 10 cents. Try it.

She Got Across.

A well known lady of HALEY
who had urgent business on her
hands which called her some dis
lance from Ketchum in the direc-
ton of Boulder arrived at her des-
tination one day last week after the
performance of remarkable feat.
Arriving at the seven mile crossing
of Wood river she found the old
bridge gone and the only means
Of crossing to be the solitary
stringer, just put in place for the
new bridge. She vowed she could
never walk over that straight and
narrow path though assured by the
men at work that it was easy
enough to do, and demonstrated
the fact by crossing and recrossing
the stringer. She made one at
tempt at "follow your leader" but
hardly proceeded a yard before her
knees trembled so that she retreated
to the bank. It was imperative
that she continued on her journey
and seeing that the river had to be
crossed, she got down on her hands
and knees then cooned" the
stringer in fine style and safely
landed on the opposite bank none
the worse for wear and tear.

A Brutal Brother.

James Cummins, following the
occupation Of painter here in town,
on last Saturday night got on a
jamboree, and brutually assaulted
the wife of his brother Harry, at
whose house he was stopping dur
ing the absence of Mr.. Cummins at
Bullion. His treatment of the
woman was 50 outrageous that she
was compelled to seek the protection
of neighbors and the interference
of Constable Mourning, who arrested
the brute and placed him in Jail.
At the examination on Monday
held before Justice Peck, the evil
dence showed Cummins to he a
man of the most brutal instincts
and it is a wonder that his brother
possessed sufficient self-control to
let justice take its course. The
hearing before Justice Peck resulted
in Cummins being held to await
the action of the grand jury, and
will wind up with a we'll deserved
sentence in the penitentiary. The
sooner such a class of men are Sc
cured the better it is for any COM
munity. Unable to provide bonds,
Cummings was taken to the county
Jail by Constable Mourning.

The Work Started.

Work was commenced on the
Smoky road this week, contractor
John Pilmer, who has the work in
charge, making his first camp about
fifteen miles from town, on Warm
Springs creek. Some little work
is necessary on the road built last
fall, and while this is in progress
the surveyors are marking out the
new road from the summit to the
Silver Star mine. The entire road
is to be finished and ready for travel
by July Goth, so that the new ma
chinery for the Silver Star mine can
be hauled to its destination on ar
rival here. 1t was intended to COM
plete the East Fork cutoff first, but
the great Importance of having a
through road to Smoky at the ear
liest possible day will cause some
delay in completing this much de-
sired road, but it will be constructed
as speedily as possible. Contractor
Pilmcr will have about twenty-five
men employed on the road, and
when once fairly started will rush
the work forward until completed.
This road will make Ketchum the
nearest and most accessible place
from Smoky and in the hauling of
ore, owing to the comparatively
light grade, far superior to all other
rOufaa

The proposition to supply Ketch.
UNI with system Of water works
has progressed sufficiently to bring
about among the promoters of the
scheme a discussion as to whether
the water Of Wood river or Trail
creek will be the most available
and satisfactory. There is one
strong objection to using Trail
creek water and that is on account
of its strong impregnation with
lime. Another thing it is possible
that supply from this source can
not always be relied upon, as the
water at times gets very low and
not the most palatable in the coun-
try. The use of Wood river water
would Obviate all these difficulties
and the supply could be relied upon
as never failing. Those interested
in the scheme are making a careful
study Of the situation and closely
calculating the expense Of con-
structlon and the income to he de-
rived. 1t is probable that a can
vass of the town will soon be made
seeking cooperation in the enter
prise and for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the number of residents
who will become patrons Of the
The water works are
certainly needed and should be put
in operation this summer.

Down the Grade.

On last Monday night while Ed
Cowley was returning from the
springs with bus load of passen-
gers he met with mishap that gave
him q fine chance to display his
ability as q driver. While coming
down the steep grade at the smelter,
one of the horses, a broncho, be-
came fractions and demoralized
the entire team. Seeing that going
over the grade was inevitable, Ed.
proposed doing up the job in fine

style. He swung the leaders down
the bank and although very dark,
the bus was landed right side up
with care on a pile Of wood. The
passengers were a little nervous
but thankful over their safe deliv-
erance did not mind the walk into
town. The bronchO has been fired
from the bus team.

An ENJOYABLE Picnic,

On Wednesday last the Guyel
Hot Springs was the scene Of al
extremely pleasant picnic party
composed almost entirely of ladies
from Haley. The party arrived al
the springs shortly before noon in
private conveyances and the re.
mainder Of the day was passed in
wandering about the beautiful
grounds and the enjoyment Of So
cial converse in the parlors of the
hotel. During the day a sumptu-
Gus dinner was animatingly dis
cussed and the plunge bath literally
patronized. The only lady in the
party familiar with the art Ofswim-
ming was Mrs. NJ. II. Coffin, and
the perfect control that she dis
played while disporting in the re-
frcshing waters of the plunge was a
source of general admiration to her
less fortunate companions as they
watchecfher graceful natatorial per-
fOrmances. The following ladies
composed the party: Mrs. J. A.
Rupert, Mrs. J. NJ. Burkett, Mrs.
X. z. Burkhart, Mrs. F. f. Ensign,
Mrs. A. L. Richardson, Mrs. S. b.
Kingsbury, Mrs. f. b. True, Mrs.

sOH of Ketchum were also Of the
party. The ladies left for home at
six o'clock, after passing q delight
jul day, stopping for short time
1t the residence of J. b. Harper to
view the grounds and floral attrac-
ions there, and arrived safely at
home with the setting Of the sun.
